Hi Nora:
Welcome to ECCIE! Take a look at the information at this link -

It will tell you how to get verified. You can email me at the address shown or just PM me here with your information. I'll be happy to help you get verified.
In the meantime, you can post in the welcome and introduction area with an ad - tell who you are, where you are, how to get in touch with you, etc. This is a one-time thing - after that, you will need to be verified so you can post ads in the two ad sections.
I'm interested in your handle - 'yorkie' meaning Yorkshire?
I look forward to helping you get verified.
